The only real reason anyone tunes into the BET fish fry and family reunion is to see A.) if there were any outbreaks of violence or B.) to watch the Cyphers. While we haven’t seen anyone getting stabbed, we do have a spoiler/preview of what to expect from 2013 edition of the Cyphers.

According to Karen Civil, we can expect at least seven different roundtable freestyle sessions from the likes of the TDE crew, the Real Husbands Of Hollywood and Slaughterhouse.

TDE & Slaughterhouse’s cypher? I’m anticipated for that. I wish though they had a cypher that had Eminem or add Em on the slaughterhouse cypher because you can’t like Eminem was made for cypher. No matter if you say he’s been getting weak with his albums and tracks or whatever you know he’s never really disappointed in cyphers, I mean just take a look at the last cypher he did with slaughterhouse and yelawolf in BET.

But whatever, TDE & Slaughterhouse will take the show, I have high expectations for them, and that new member Isaiah is actually pretty good before I gave him a listen I thought he’d be pretty weak but I fuck with that SHOT U DOWN song, so I downloaded his tape and he’s really good so I think he’ll do hi thing on the cypher too.

wel just give %100 praise to real rappity rap then cuz u wouldnt have ur pop bs groups in this if it wasnt for those real mcs paving the way first wit original real hiphop freestyle cyphers! this is the corp version of what a cypher was originally. also it was the whole point to outwit and have dope shit. not have a comedian do it wit somedoy else writing for them. or a tv show cast up there for ratings.

IDK anyone would have a prob with Kim, if she comes with bars. Problem I see is, BET is having a harder and harder time getting any real marquee names in this thing year after year, and they don’t know who to call as far as up-and-comers who have projects to promote or building buzz that people wanna see.

I see Save Money is unrepresented, as is Pro Era. They front loaded all the best spitters into the first cypher which hurst the momentum of the show. Danny Brown still not getting any love, and Rapsody should’ve gotten a way better placement.

In the words of Aaron McGruder, and his great creation: Maaaaaannnnnn, FUCK BET.

Right, this is poor man. Just shows that cyphers isnt where hip hop is at right now. Historical cyphers are one that have risk and so value to it. TDE rapping together doesnt mean anything. They could make something huge by having Drake vs Kendrick, etc. Those are the cyphers people want to hear and hip hop needs it tbh.

Man…dat TDE and Slaughterhouse cypher. And yeah, word on the street (and internets) is Kendrick dropped a sequel of his Control verse (as TSS alluded to). Also, I seemed to be right about Nick Cannon taking his cypher seriously and killing it–Skillz said Nick “bodied it.”
